In the meantime, there's the Exquisite Corpse EP, a hypnotic set mixed by sometime Red Hot Chili Pepper John Frusciante that was released on Manimal Vinyl in October. Below, listen to the whole EP, watch the dreamy video for "Stars"," and read about Warpaint's LP plans (and their love of the Wu-Tang Clan) in our interview with the band's three principals-- bassist-singer Jenny Lee Lindberg, and guitarist-singers Emily Kokal and Theresa Wayman-- below:

Pitchfork: I really enjoyed your show at CMJ last year. It seemed like you guys are a lot more confident and cohesive than even your recent EP, Exquisite Corpse, may suggest.

Emily Kokal: The EP was recorded two years ago and most of the songs on it were written more than five years ago. It's a very old recording for us. When we made it, we hadn't played that many shows. Since then, we've developed a different sound for our live shows and that's going into what the new songs sound like. None of the songs on the EP will be on the album.

Pitchfork: What sound are you going for with the LP?

EK: There is going to be more acoustic music and, at the other end of the spectrum, there's stuff with electronics and keyboards. It's going to be more eclectic. At the same time, we're going for an overall underwater mood. We often come from a visual place with our music, too--soundtracking and scoring is something that we're really interested in.

Pitchfork: What are some films that reflect your sound?

Jenny Lee Lindberg:Poltergeist.

EK: I love Days of Heaven and the way [director] Terrence Malick shoots an endless amount of film and shows what's happening in the organic environment around his characters. With Malick's movies, there's not a formula you can anticipate; the plot changes. That's important to us-- I like progressive rock like King Crimson and Yes along with electronic music, things that don't have standard pop structures. My mom listened to a lot of Grateful Dead bootlegs throughout childhood and even though I swore I hated them, I know they seeped in. And we all really like to jam-- I wish there was another word to use besides "jam," but that's something that we all relate to. That's why our songs might have a spontaneous feeling, because it's not just like, "OK, let's work on the first part and then second part."

Pitchfork: Most of the songs on the EP are five or six minutes long. Are you trying for any shorter, more to-the-point songs for the LP?

EK: I think it will be half and half. I appreciate short, perfect pop songs.

Pitchfork: It doesn't get much more perfect than "My Guy", which you guys worked into your song "Billie Holiday". How did that come about?

EK: It happened unconsciously. That guitar part was floating around forever, and I used to sing "la la la" instead of the "B-I-L-L-I-E" part. Theresa learned the part as well, and she just opened up a songbook one day and that was the song it opened to. All of us have a lot of songs that are very acoustic guitar-type, straightforward love songs, and now that we're making a record those songs will get a chance, too.

Pitchfork: I was reading your Wikipedia page and it mentions that you guys have several celebrity fans. Were you psyched about anyone in particular who came to a show?

EK: RZA came once and that was really exciting. He's a friend of John Frusciante, who mixed our EP. RZA was really feeling Jen's bass lines.
